OUR TOURING SHOWS:

CIP Touring Company – Created and directed by Jonathan Pitts, this show features veteran improvisors creating a full show on the spot, using only audience suggestions. The first half of the show is composed of short-form games a la “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, followed by our signature form, which blends both short form and long form improvisational elements. This show can be performed for all-ages, or tailored to a mature audience.

The Make ‘Em Ups – The Make ‘Em Ups is a hilarious, engaging and educational show for kids teaching the basics of improv with an opportunity to join the fun. Over the course an hour, the audience is taught the core tenants of improvisation, and are later encouraged to play themselves with our professional cast. This is a family-friendly show that is perfect or schools, community theaters, libraries and more!

Improv Workshops – CIP’s teaching artists are professional improvisors from diverse training centers and stages. Our improv workshops are a phenomenal way of sharing that experience with audiences of all ages. Participants have a chance to polish up their communication skills, grow in their confidence, and collaborate with other players. We have hosted workshops for the Chicago Park District, several community high schools and theaters, Big Brother Big Sisters, and Urban Gateways. Take advantage of this opportunity to laugh and learn along with CIP!
